Zero-Shot Scalable Resilience in UAV Swarms: A Decentralized Imitation Learning Framework with Physics-Informed Graph Interactions

- 用物理引导的图神经网络建模无人机间引力与斥力交互
- 20架训练的策略可直接用于500架无人机,无需微调
- 适合大规模无人机群在复杂环境中的自愈任务
大规模无人机群在发生故障时可能被分割成多个孤立子网络,导致去中心化恢复既紧迫又困难。集中式恢复依赖全局拓扑信息,在严重碎片化后通信开销剧增;而去中心化启发式方法和多智能体强化学习虽部署简便,但性能随集群规模和损伤程度变化而下降。本文提出物理引导的图对抗模仿学习(PhyGAIL),采用集中训练、去中心化执行架构。PhyGAIL从异构观测构建有界局部交互图,利用物理引导的图神经网络将方向性局部交互编码为带门控的消息传递,显式建模吸引与排斥作用,赋予策略物理上合理的协调倾向,同时保持局部观测对规模不变。还引入场景自适应模仿学习,提升在碎片化拓扑和变长恢复周期下的训练效果。分析证明了有界局部图放大、有界交互动态及终端成功信号方差可控。在20架无人机上训练的策略可直接迁移至500架无人机群,无需微调,在连接可靠性、恢复速度、运动安全性与运行效率方面均优于代表性基线。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Large-scale Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) failures can split an unmanned aerial vehicle swarm network into disconnected sub-networks, making decentralized recovery both urgent and difficult. Centralized recovery methods depend on global topology information and become communication-heavy after severe fragmentation. Decentralized heuristics and multi-agent reinforcement learning methods are easier to deploy, but their performance often degrades when the swarm scale and damage severity vary. We present Physics-informed Graph Adversarial Imitation Learning algorithm (PhyGAIL) that adopts centralized training with decentralized execution. PhyGAIL builds bounded local interaction graphs from heterogeneous observations, and uses physics-informed graph neural network to encode directional local interactions as gated message passing with explicit attraction and repulsion. This gives the policy a physically grounded coordination bias while keeping local observations scale-invariant. It also uses scenario-adaptive imitation learning to improve training under fragmented topologies and variable-length recovery episodes. Our analysis establishes bounded local graph amplification, bounded interaction dynamics, and controlled variance of the terminal success signal. A policy trained on 20-UAV swarms transfers directly to swarms of up to 500 UAVs without fine-tuning, and achieves better performance across reconnection reliability, recovery speed, motion safety, and runtime efficiency than representative baselines.
